Even if we ignore the "feeding delusions" angle, it was always doomed to failure.
Talk to any tranny (don't actually), their suicidal problems aren't ever related to "my body is X." Its always "society doesn't perceive my body as X." It doesn't matter if they are a cute anime girl, they need society to consider them one. Which means all guys in existence need to change their preferences, all women must now accept them, and all their memories need to be erased and replaced with those they think a cute anime girl had in high school. They want to live this mythical life in their head based on preconceived notions of some idol they know.
So it never mattered what technology or medicine was capable of doing. Their desires were completely impossible in the same way all the mentally ill are.
When they compare gays to trannys it dawned on me that a few gays in the past have killed themselves because society hated gays, but tranny suicidality ISNT that society doesn't accept them. Tranny suicidality isn't caused by gender dysphoria it's a symptom of the mental illness. There wasn't a huge number of gays killing themselves before the 90s
Ya. It's like 12%. Trans is like 50%. It's much closer to straight people than to trans. To me it suggests theres more to it than "they hate me because I'm different"

True but isn't gay suicide higher than normal people as well?
I would argue that the majority of AIDS deaths once people knew about it were suicides
